By Gavin Mannion
October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

As the title says, the latest DLC for Forza 2 which is the Twin Ring Motegi race track has had its price cut from 600 points to 400 points. There was quite a large internet outcry when the 600 point price tag was announced and it is refreshing to see a developer listening to their clients. Why they constantly try to …

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

By Gavin Mannion
October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

Yet another gameplay video for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune… The game looks and sounds great in this trailer and I am just really hoping the person playing the game is a complete idiot. As you will see it appears that aiming is impossible and controlling the vertical movement exceptionally difficult. I cannot imagine it is as bad as the trailer makes …

October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

A while back I reported about the Polish Xbox Live petition that was a little to similar to our own to be a coincidence. Well Robert Szkop, the guy who put it up, actually responded to me very shortly after that to apologise for the plagiarism and offer assure us that there was no harm meant in it. Which I …

October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

Well after reading the poor review last week about Haze I was starting to worry that this highly anticipated game was going to flop. However a new review has hit the internet with some more information and this time the game is sounding better. While previously we didn’t know the real point of Nectar it does seem to be very useful… It seems the rebels …

By Gavin Mannion
October 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

So the big 3 (well the only 3) console makers have released their year to date sales figures. I am presuming these are shipped or sold to retailer figures but I think they are very telling anyway. Wii – 9,980,000 sold between Jan 2007 and Sep 2007PS2 – 8,400,000PS3 – 3,930,000360 – 3,000,000 So who expected the 360 to be coming last? Now …

South African Software Sales Figures

October 26, 2007 - 18 years ago

So after reporting on the US, EU and Japanese sales figures I thought it would be appropriate to actually try and report on ours as well. Makes sense. Well that is slightly more difficult than expected. No one will give out figures and all I get from the suppliers is that there product is doing as well as expected. Or …

Well now we have an official trailer, chock full of overly happy Americans, to show us …

So we have seen the PS3 leading the 360 in Europe but trailing the Wii, the 360 killing the PS3 in the States and marginally edging out the Wii and now it’s time to check on Japan again. Well nothing has changed really. Wii – 24,932PS3 – 17,130360 – 3,011 The 360 is still taking a battering and the Wii …

October 26, 2007 - 18 years ago

I posted the Gamespot review of Ratchet & Clank a few days ago and got flamed horribly by a few people.

This is not to cause more problems on flamebait Friday but rather to follow …

Yesterday Microsoft released its latest financial figures and inside was something that will warm the heart of the ex Peter Moore and all the current Xbox guys. The division that produces the Xbox 360, the Entertainment and Devices Division, has finally turned a profit. For the last financial quarter the division has raked in $165 million. That’s quite some turn around. I …

Why the 360 will always have the best games

By Gavin Mannion
October 26, 2007 - 18 years ago

Our local 360 fanboy leader (Doobiwan) has written another post on is personal site detailing why he thinks the 360 is the better machine, this time in relation to the games. While Doobiwan has never hid the fact that he is a 360 fanboy I do think he makes some very valid points in his article. Diving right in, the often quoted …
